our APPROACH
WHAT TO EXPECT.
THE ATBM
EXPERIENCE.
Being all-in is at the heart of our boutique philosophy. We accept only a limited number of events annually, ensuring every client receives our complete focus. You can text me about a new idea at 10pm, DM me a tablescape you love, or call my cell to debrief after a vendor meeting. We can talk every week, or once a month. Either way, we keep things on pace, curating and developing the details, ensuring your vision is always moving forward.
Our process is gracefully strategic and slightly obsessive in the best way. I care deeply about my clients; not just the event, but the experience of it. The emotions, the family dynamics, the energy in the room. That level of care is deeply personal. It has to be. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do this work the way I do.
Excited to plan with you,
Kaitlin Donaldson

Curated Weekends. multi-day planning.
ATBM specializes in destination‑forward weddings and multi‑day experiences. We design weddings as weekends; intimate rehearsal dinners, festive welcome soirées, sunset cocktails, noteworthy after‑parties, nourishing recovery brunches, and immersive activities inspired by the setting.
We go beyond traditional planning: handling the practical side of travel management, from property buyouts and itinerary coordination, to the guest experience; the way they arrive, the transitions between moments, and the hospitality that makes them feel welcomed and considered.
"SO MANY GUESTS HAVE SAID IT WAS THE BEST WEDDING THEY HAVE EVER BEEN TO. EVERY SINGLE ASPECT WAS PERFECT."

Transparency is paramount.
PLANNING WITH INTEGRITY.
We believe honesty and clarity are essential. No hidden fees, no surprises, no pressure to work with anyone who isn’t the right fit for you. We hand-select the entertainment, photographers, florists, and creative partners who are truly the best fit for our couples. Each one of our recommendations are led with your vision, budget, and priorities in mind. We’re all about keeping things straightforward and highly personalized, so you always know what to expect and feel confident in every choice you make.
"WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO EVERY LAST DETAIL TO MAKE THE DAY OF OUR DREAMS A REALITY."

A LEGACY OF LOVE.
DESIGN IN MOTION.
We shape scenic design with purpose: florals, linens, stationery, lighting, and all of the layered details become a reflection of what matters most to you. The outcome isn’t merely pretty, it’s cohesive, expressive, and on purpose.
We think in transitions; the way guests arrive, the cadence of the cocktail hour, how the room shifts as the sun sets, and how a moment feels when someone lifts their glass. Each choice is curated so the energy feels natural, thoughtful, and distinct, not staged or predictable. This is design as an experience—a living manifestation of your vision, crafted to feel personal and resonate with your guests.
"IT WAS PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY AND WILL SING YOUR PRAISES FOREVER."

our approach.
story-driven, purposeful, distinctly Yours.
Our planning process starts and ends with you; your story, your instincts, the moments that feel most alive when you imagine your wedding. We don’t lead with trends or templates; we guide with curiosity about how you want the room to feel, how guests should move through it, and the subtle nuances that will render your wedding unforgettable.
